LLNL medical and industrial laser isotope separation: large volume, low cost production through advanced laser technologies

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2780· OSTI ID:2780

The goal of this LDRD project was to demonstrate the technical and economical feasibility of applying laser isotope separation technology to the commercial enrichment (>lkg/y) of stable isotopes. A successful demonstration would well position the laboratory to make a credible case for the creation of an ongoing medical and industrial isotope production and development program at LLNL. Such a program would establish LLNL as a center for advanced medical isotope production, successfully leveraging previous LLNL Research and Development hardware, facilities, and knowledge.
